Recording

Recorded audio

In all except the LPCM mode, sound is recorded in two
channel Dolby Digital format. When set to LPCM, sound
is recorded in high quality, uncompressed Linear PCM
format.
If the broadcast audio is bilingual and you are recording
in Video mode or on the LPCM setting, use the Bilingual
Recording setting (page 70) to select the A/L or B/R
audio channel to record before recording starts. In other
cases, both channels of a bilingual broadcast will be
recorded and you can switch on playback.

Restrictions on video recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this
recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs
and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material
is encountered during a recording, recording will pause
automatically and an error message will be displayed on-
screen.
Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded ona
disc in VR mode (see below).
When recording a TV broadcast or through an external
input, you can display copy control information on
screen. (see Displaying disc information on-screen on
page 30).
CPRM
CPRM is a copy protection/scrambling system developed
for the recording of 'copy once' broadcast programs.
CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable
Media.
This recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that
you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you
cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM
recordings can only be made on CPRM-compatible
DVD-R (ver. 2.0/8x or higher) or DVD-RW (ver. 1.1 or
higher) discs formatted in VR mode.
DVD CPRM recordings can only be played on players that
are specifically compatible with CPRM.
Recording equipment and copyright

copying and you are advised to check carefully what is
lawful copying in the country in which you are making a
copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or
music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception
or consented to by the rightowners.
Note
1.Audio is recorded in 16-bit Linear PCM format, video is recorded at XP quality. When recording a bilingual broadcast, select which audio chan-
nel to record (see Bilingual Recording on page 70).
